Cheap Tricks: How Levi's and IKEA are freeriding on their competitors' progress on workplace safety in Bangladesh
Nine years since the Rana Plaza collapse, not all brands have heeded its wake up call and joined the safety mechanism that was created in its wake. Brands which are vocal about their sustainability credentials like IKEA and Levi's have refused to sign the International Accord, yet they source from factories that are made safe under the programme, thanks to the efforts of their competitors.
